Christy started pole in 2016 with friends to socialise, stay fit and be creative. She then began Aerial Hoop in 2021 and slowly expanded to other circus apparatuses, now including ground acts such as fire twirling. She’s interested in how cross-disciplinary movement patterns can be translated across apparatuses.

Christy was introduced to IPSF Pole and Aerial Sports in 2023. She’s competed in Aerial Lyra Sports solo and doubles with the ASPF and Bend the Air. She’s a budding performer, completing ambience gigs in Hammocks.

Christy holds a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) / Bachelor of Business (Human Resources) and is passionate about improving the Federation’s Corporate Governance. This governance push will help see the pole and aerial sports recognised nationally officially and introduced into the Olympic Games. Christy has over a decade of event management experience and is excited to apply her knowledge to the sports industry.

Ashleigh is a passionate poler who found her way into the sport in 2017 and revels in its acrobatic elements. She’s been an instructor since late 2019 and is excited to help grow the sport and attract new audiences and participants. She also competed in our national competition in 2024, earning two gold medals—one in Pole Sports Professional 30+ and another in Group Artistic Semi-Professional
